This book explores the challenges facing women from their
mid-forties as they attempt to build/maintain careers in the screen
industries. Essays are concerned with the intersection of gender
and age on screen and behind the camera and how that can create a
'double jeopardy'. Existing research in this area has been
primarily directed to onscreen representation. Female actors, with
notable exceptions, struggle to get screen time and expansive roles
as they age. Behind the camera, women 45+ also face challenges and
roadblocks; to date, less attention has been directed to this
group. The cross-cultural research in this collection offers an
analysis of representation, on and off screen, touching on film,
television, streaming services and film festivals. It includes an
exploration of gendered ageism, age bias and stereotyping. It also
highlights the achievements of mature female practitioners who, in
their work and working lives, embody a resistance to restrictive
cultural discourses about ageing women.
